Is this possible ? Is this a smart way ? How would you do it ?
IIUC I would parse just enough to separate the class name from the data, and then let each subclass parse the data. Something like: PythonObject fromString: '< Bone [ "side bone" , IK = True , ( 1.0 , 0.1 , 0.2) ]>'. where: PythonObject>>#fromString: aString | bracketContents pythonClassName data class | bracketContents := aString allButFirst allButLast trimBoth. pythonClassName := bracketContents copyUpTo: Character space. data := bracketContents copyAfter: Character space. class := self subclasses detect: [ :c | c pythonClassName = pythonClassName ]. ^ class data: data. ----- Cheers, Sean -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Dealing-with-multiple-cases-of-a-string-while-keeping-...
